to the fact that no other property would satisfy the applicant's
short-term requirements for a temporary sales office.

stances relating to the location of the subject property to the
development.special circumstances also exist in light of the
very short duration,i.e.,90 days,that the structure would be
used for a temporary sales office.

detrimental to the pUblic welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in which the subject property is situated.
